The questioner : Is it permissible for me to perform Hajj with my brother's money, knowing that I do not possess any money? The listener is Fatimah from Sudan.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible for a person to perform Hajj with money that his father, brother, son, or one of his brothers who will not burden him with a favor donates to him. If he fears that they will burden him with a favor, then it is better that he not perform Hajj with any of their money, because the one who burdens others with their favors cuts off the neck of his companion with his favor over him. Every time an occasion arises, he says: "I am the one who made you perform Hajj, I am the one who did this, I am the one who did that." So if a person is safe from being burdened with a favor in the future, there is no harm in accepting from any of his relatives or companions that they donate to him money with which to perform Hajj. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. From Mauritania, the listener Sa'di A N says.
